Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3

Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age

x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.

x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old

So Bea is 9.

How to find the vertex calculus 2What is the vertex, focus and directrix of x^2 = 6y

son4ous [18]

Solution:

Given:

$x^2=6y$

Part A:

The vertex of an up-down facing parabola of the form;

$\begin{gathered} y=ax^2+bx+c \\ is \\ x_v=-\frac{b}{2a} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation given;

$\begin{gathered} 6y=x^2 \\ y=\frac{1}{6}x^2 \\ \\ \text{Hence,} \\ a=\frac{1}{6} \\ b=0 \\ c=0 \\ \\ \text{Hence,} \\ x_v=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ x_v=-\frac{0}{2(\frac{1}{6})} \\ x_v=0 \\ \\ _{} \\ \text{Substituting the value of x into y,} \\ y=\frac{1}{6}x^2 \\ y_v=\frac{1}{6}(0^2) \\ y_v=0 \\ \\ \text{Hence, the vertex is;} \\ (x_v,y_v)=(h,k)=(0,0) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the vertex is (0,0)

Part B:

A parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to a point (the focus) equals the distance to a line (directrix)

Using the standard equation of a parabola;

$\begin{gathered} 4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \\ \text{Where;} \\ (h,k)\text{ is the vertex} \\ |p|\text{ is the focal length} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation in standard form,

$\begin{gathered} x^2=6y \\ 6y=x^2 \\ 4(\frac{3}{2})(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \text{putting (h,k)=(0,0)} \\ 4(\frac{3}{2})(y-0)=(x-0)^2 \\ Comparing\text{to the standard form;} \\ p=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Since the parabola is symmetric around the y-axis, the focus is a distance p from the center (0,0)

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} Focus\text{ is;} \\ (0,0+p) \\ =(0,0+\frac{3}{2}) \\ =(0,\frac{3}{2}) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the focus is;

$(0,\frac{3}{2})$

Part C:

A parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to a point (the focus) equals the distance to a line (directrix)

Using the standard equation of a parabola;

$\begin{gathered} 4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \\ \text{Where;} \\ (h,k)\text{ is the vertex} \\ |p|\text{ is the focal length} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation in standard form,

Since the parabola is symmetric around the y-axis, the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis at a distance p from the center (0,0).

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} Directrix\text{ is;} \\ y=0-p \\ y=0-\frac{3}{2} \\ y=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the directrix is;

$y=-\frac{3}{2}$

padilas [110]

Answer: $10.2\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> "Sara plotted the locations of the trees in a park on a coordinate grid. She plotted an oak tree, which was in the middle of the park, at the origin. She plotted a maple tree, which was 10 yards away from the oak tree, at the point (10,0) . Then she plotted a pine tree at the point (-2.4, 5) and an apple tree at the point (7.8, 5) What is the distance, in yards, between the pine tree and the apple tree in the</h3><h3>park?"</h3>

For this exercise you need to use the following formula, which can be used for calculate the distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

In this case, you need to find distance, in yards, between the pine tree and the apple tree in the park.

You know that pine tree is located at the point (-2.4, 5) and the apple tree is located at the point (7.8, 5).

So, you can say that:

$x_2=-2.4\\x_1=7.8\\\\y_2=5\\y_1=5$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula and then evaluate, in order to find the distance, in yards, between the pine tree and the apple tree in the park.

This is:

$d=\sqrt{(-2.4-7.8)^2+(5-5)^2}=10.2\ yards$

What is the factored form of y=x^3+3x^2-x-3 and what the zeros

PSYCHO15rus [73]

y = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
0 = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
0 = x²(x) + x²(3) - 1(x) - 1(3)
0 = x²(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)
0 = (x² - 1)(x + 3)
0 = (x² + x - x - 1)(x + 3)
0 = (x(x) + x(1) - 1(x) - 1(1))(x + 3)
0 = (x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1))(x + 3)
0 = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)
0 = x - 1 or 0 = x + 1 or 0 = x + 3
+ 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 3
1 = x or -1 = x or -3 = x

Solution Set: {-3, -1, 1}
